      These are not real governments, some of these are hardly even real countries. Made up island statelets with a population of 50 somehow having a vote of equal strength to that of Brazil has always made the UN a ridiculous institution.

      PNG is essentially not really a state but like 5 guys in port moresby under the control of Rio Tinto and Australia. The rest of the country lacks even basic infrastructure. The pacific islands can be like bought with a few millions $$$ and most colonial structures are still in place - tonga is majority mormon for example.
